How Is This Possible?

First, a confession… This year I got suckered into watching Celebrity Apprentice because of Rod Blagojevich.  It was like a horrible accident you couldn’t turn away from.  And the main reason I watched – besides the endless amusement Blago generated by proclaiming his innocence to anyone and everyone – was his complete incompetence with technology.  […]

Will Biden Be Unopposed?

Beau Biden left the hospital today, and I am starting to wonder if the scare to his health last week will be the only scare he will face this election year. The Republicans held their convention last Saturday, and failed to nominate a candidate to challenge the first term Democratic Attorney General.

2010 Will Break Their Hearts and Spirit

Filed in National by on May 19, 2010 13 Comments

It is already happening. Last night we saw the Democrats taking out their own trash to better their prospects in November. Indeed, the Senate race in Pennsylvania goes from a toss up between Specter and Toomey, and now it will be a Democratic hold in November. In Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln, if renominated, would be a lock for defeat in November. But last night, she was held to 43%, barely finishing ahead of progressive Lt. Governor Bill Halter, and will be forced into a runoff three weeks from now against him. And you have to figure, given her showing last night,and Halter’s performance last night, she is in trouble of losing. If Halter wins, while Arkansas does not become a Democratic lock, it does become competitive again, maybe even a tossup.

It’s Time To Mess With Texas

Filed in National by on May 19, 2010 18 Comments

History should be something we learn from, but if the Texas School Board gets its way learning will be replaced by indoctrination. The board is to vote on a sweeping purge of alleged liberal bias in Texas school textbooks in favour of what Dunbar says really matters: a belief in America as a nation chosen […]
